Debunking 'Jurassic Park': The Premise for the Entire Movie Is Wrong

"Jurassic Park" is called a sci-fi movie for a reason. Given that the events that lead to the replication of dinosaurs stretch the imagination, believing in the movie takes a major leap in logic.

And yet, it all seems kind of possible -- finding a prehistoric mosquito preserved in amber, extracting dinosaur blood from it, then using the DNA in that blood to clone the extinct species.

Unfortunately, it's not possible for at least one very specific reason: That mosquito we see in the movie? It doesn't drink blood.

Navy entomologist Joe Conlon tells Business Insider that though mosquitoes did buzz around 170 million years ago, the particular species in the 1993 film (Toxorhynchites rutilus) doesn't feed on blood.
